Acting in Atlanta

Today, I mailed off the application with headshot and resume for the Unifieds. Deadline is January 16th. Hopefully I will be accepted again this year. Last years attendance got me auditions at The Alliance, Theatre in the Square, Marcus Jewish Community Center Theatre and with Tyler Perry Studios. This year, I plan to work with Pat Hurley on a couple of monologues in preparation for the Unifieds.
Tonight will be one of two things: Ether voice over for on the short film I did in August (The Interview). And/Or rehearsal for Bright Flames TV. Let’s talk about The Interview. My understanding is that this is nearly complete in post-production. Matt McGahren is hopping to submit this for the Atlanta Film Festival. Deadline is this Friday. I assume the voice over is for my part. I guess the sound is not what they wanted when originally shot. If not tonight, then tomorrow evening.
On the Bright Flames TV front, apparently Robert Howell has found a crew with equipment so we are not dependent on the local community TV studio. The local community studio never could get their act together, so this will be good. Robert wants me (and I assume the rest of the cast) to do a voice over for a trailer. And the new shooting location is at Callanwolde Fine Arts Center. Looks like a very nice place. If The Interview voice over is tonight and early enough, I can make tonight’s Bright Flames rehearsal.
Tomorrow AM is a stress test with the cardiologist to see if I can exercise without killing myself. I have been on medication for high blood pressure now for 6 days. Not fun. I have to drink plenty of fluids so my pressure does not drop too low. It did Saturday night, not enough intake during the day. So light-headednes kept me from going to the Gladiators game that night. Last night I did not sleep very well. Due to fluid intake/output, I believe I am short on Potassium. My back of my legs really ached. Very painful.
Tomorrow PM. Depending on if I do not have to do The Interview voice over tomorrow night, I plan on auditioning for BOOLIE WERTHAN in Driving Miss Daisy at Act1 Theater. BOOLIE is the son of DAISY WERTHAN. But if the voice over is tomorrow night, then I will audition on Thursday night, missing another Gladiators game.
Wednesday PM is an audition for Sabrina Fair at Kudzu Playhouse. I think I would make a good DAVID LARRABEE. DAVID is the younger brother of LINUS LARRABEE JR.
Thursday PM will hopefully be a Gladiators’ game, but that depends on … well, see above.
Friday PM is supposed to be another Bright Flames rehearsal.
So everynight this week is something. <sigh>

The Weekly update from the Atlanta Coalition of Performing Arts:
We are pleased to announce the dates for the Atlanta Performs annual Unified Auditions will be March 30 & 31, 2009. We are equally pleased that once again the ‘Unifieds’ will be hosted by Woodruff Arts Center’s 14th Street Playhouse. For those of you who intend to apply for an audition slot, please note that we are working to put the entire application process online–applications for actors will be available soon! More info will be forthcoming after Thanksgiving.
I attended last year and plan on attending again this year. Last year had a mild affect on my acting career. A few auditions. Hopefully working with Pat Hurley on a few monologues will help
A few weeks ago, I mailed out 30 new headshots with resume to attendees of the 2008 Atlanta Unifieds. I think it is beginning to pay off. I have received invitations to audition for the Marcus Jewish Community Center Theatre and the Alliance Theatre. Both professional theatres and both audition times were for the same day. I elected to go with the general auditions at the Alliance Theatre. I am very excited.
